Hi all

I have recently changed my car (mid June). Original car was on a 48mth PCP and I changed car at approx 36 months. Origianal PCP was settled and I commenced a new 48 month PCP for my new car.

Long story short there is an onging issue with the new car therefore the dealer has offered me a 'New car' as a goodwill gesture however this will mean signing up to a new PCP agreeement and current PCP will be settled.

Should I be concerned about anything.

What will this look like on my credit file given I have literally just settled one agreement and taken out a new one for that one to then be settled a new one taken out?

Cheers

    There should be no noticeable impact other than for the new agreement there will be an additional credit search but a single search will have a minimal impact (if any).
